WHAT CAN I DO TO
HELP?
As you can see by the many activities The
Friends are involved with in support of the library
and staff, we could always use an extra pair of
hands to help us implement these programs.
If you would like to help and have the time, here’s
how we could use your talents and interests:
__
Stock The Friends Used Books
area
__
Help with book sales
__
Be part of the special programs
and events sponsored by The
Friends
__
Share your ideas for new
programs, fund raisers, etc. with
us
__ Suggest ways in which we can
improve to better serve the
library and utilize our resources
more effectively
HOW DO I KNOW IF I’M
MAKING A
DIFFERENCE?
We all want to feel that the work that we do is
important and in some small way contributes to
the overall good of the community in which we
live and work.
Without the volunteer efforts of The Friends, the
many programs that we sponsor would not be
held or able to continue. Your efforts directly
impact the ability for children, teens, and adults to
participate and learn from the programs that the
library offers. This learning, in many cases, is
shared with others thus multiplying its reach and
impact.
So you see, you have an opportunity to impact
many, whether from a single event or series.
You do, indeed, make a difference!

WHO WE ARE AND WHAT
WE DO
The Friends of Cooper Memorial Library is a
non-profit organization dedicated to serving the
library. We support the library by raising funds
through various projects and programs
throughout the year to insure that programs that
have either been unfunded or at risk of being
underfunded have the resources necessary for
development and implementation. In addition, as
we look towards the future, we want to offer
programs that keep pace with technology,
providing a platform for both personal and
professional growth.
Our meetings are held the fourth Monday of each
month. We begin with a social time from 5PM to
5:30 PM. The meetings begin promptly at
5:30 PM and end at 6:30 PM. During the
meetings we plan projects, events, and activities
to raise extra funds for our library
